The public federal record on N850M, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Jones Aviation, a corporation, certificate issued April 24, 2019, expires April 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 2, 2021, 55 years after the 1966 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 66-16875 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N850M was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Aero Commander 500-B (serial 1376135, cancelled December 24, 1991); Lockheed 18-14 (serial 2214, cancelled December 9, 1976); Burrill Steven E A PLANE (serial 1, cancelled February 1, 1938). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N850M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.

This automated check reads the public federal record. Nothing here is a legal opinion, an appraisal or a statement about the aircraft's condition; a CLEAR line is a statement about the searched record, not the aircraft.
